I mean even when there are phases of low damage or none, you can always preemptively blanket the raid to build up mastery bubbles or have hots funneled to the tank for smoother spike damage. I'm going to stick to having a lot of spirit because it only means I am able to heal that much more. I won't HAVE to play conservatively. I may start using color appropriate gems for bonuses and additional secondary stats when I hit around 15k+ but I do well with a lot of spirit and plan to stay that route.
